Polishes I've Made Soon to be for Sale

Queen Ann Soforth of
Oogaboo

Queen Ann is an overzealous leader of the smallest and
poorest kingdom in Oz. She refuses
to sweep the floor of her castle and instead decides to take over Oz with an
army made up of 17 of the 18 men in her kingdom. Needless to say, it doesn’t go too well because Glinda (we
know her) reroutes the roads to make the little rag-tag army get stuck in
mountains.

This is a jelly blue with blue-green sparkles and a small
amount of glow in the dark pigment.
It goes on fairly shear but with a jelly sandwich it would look
amazing. One coat, two coats, one
coat over black.

Betsy Bobbin

Betsy is a year older than Dorothy and from Oklahoma. She and her mule Hank get washed up
after a storm where they end up in a place called the Rose Kingdom. The only human is the Royal Gardener; every
one else is a face on a rose bush.
He says that they are trespassing and will be put to death immediately
but just at that instant the Shaggy Man falls through the roof eating an apple.

Matte glitter with tiny pink, red, and salmon, medium green
and blue, and large black circles.
I’m smitten with it!

The Shaggy Man-

The Shaggy Man was sent to find his brother by Ozma, the
queen of Oz. Ozma has given the
Shaggy Man the love magnet which used to hang over the Emerald City’s entrance
to aid him on his quest. The Shaggy Man's brother disappeared
from a Colorado mine, and the suspicion is that the Nome King kidnapped him. So with the help of a vast cast of
characters, and many magical devices, the adventure unfolds.

This is a clear base with micro-fine emerald glitter, small,
medium, and large hex glitter of emerald, gold, copper, red, spring green, red
squares, gold squares, and green squares.
Needless to say, it’s a really lovely fall foliage look. Shown in one and two coats and one
coats over OPI’s Jade is the New Black.

Ozga the Rose
Princess-

Despite objections from the roses that they do not want a
female ruler, the Shaggy Man and Betsy pick a ripe princess to from the Royal
Garden. She is Ozga, a cousin of
Ozma, but she is rejected by the other roses and decides to take up her new
friends mission to rescue Shaggy Man’s brother.

This is a deep shade of lavender with blue, purple, and
rainbow flakies in it. I didn’t
realize at the time that I was making it but it’s similar to Cult Nails
Seduction. One coat, two coats,
and one coat over black.

Polychrome-

In Oz, rainbows are graced by the Daughters of the Rainbow,
who dance down the multicolored arch to touch the earth. Polychrome was fairylike and most
beautiful of the Daughters of the Rainbow, making her the sweetest and
merriest, but also the most reckless.
While the other daughters knew that touching the ground was a dangerous
pastime, as the rainbow could disappear at any moment, Polychrome was enjoying
herself so much she didn’t even realize that her bow had disappeared, carrying
her sisters back to their Sky Palaces.
Betsy Bobbin spies Polychrome crouching pitifully on a rock, waiting for
her rainbow to return to fetch her.

Tik-Tok is a very strange circular clockwork man who is
metal with copper joints and speaks like a robot would, one.sy.ab.le.a.t.a.time. He was thrown into a well by the Nome
King, where the growing party finds him and pulls him out. Rescued,, he joins them on their quest.

This is a firey-orange with red shimmer undertones. It does have some red flakies in it but
they are very hard to see and not at all prominent.

Private Files

Private Files was the only Private in Queen Ann Soforth of
Oogaboo’s army. (The other 16 are
officers.) Queen Ann demands that Files conquer the traveling
party. despite being outnumbered.
Files refuses and resigns from the army because binding harmless women
and children is against his morals.

This is a glitter polish with red, white, black, and silver
holo squares, white and holo hexes, and a red micro-shimmer undertone. Shown in one and two coats.

The Nome King

Now we get to the villains! The Nome King, also known as the
Metal Monarch, formerly Roquat until he drank from the Waters of Oblivion,
forgot his own name and gave himself a new one (Ruggedo). Ruggedo owns all the metal that lies
underground. He has also
presumably captured Shaggy Man’s brother. Shaggy Man convinces Ann and her Army to go and help them
conquer him.

The Nome King is plainly put, a glitter bomb. There are probably 50 kinds of glitter
in here, so many that it would be pointless to try to name them all…

Tittiti-Hoochoo

This is an immortal that lives on the other side of the
world and is also known as The Great Jinjin. The party meets him after the Nome King sends them through
the hollow tube. Tittiti-Hoochoo
is furious and vows revenge on the Nome King, so he sends the party back with a
dragon called Quox.

Tittiti-Hoochoo is a pearl with color changing pigment. Over black it looks reddish-purple but
it was many different kinds of pigment so it will look different over every
color.

Quox

Quox is the dragon sent to escort the party back through the
tube by Tittiti-Hoochoo to be an ‘instrument of royal vengeance.’ So they
fly/fall back through the Hollow Tube and return to Oz to extract Shaggy Man’s
brother.

Quox is one of the new polished I’m most proud of. It’s a combination of matte pink, red,
lavender, turquoise, fine blue, and large purple hex’s with a micro-shimmering
turquoise background to it.

The Long-Eared Hearer

The Long-Eared Hearer is a minion of the Nome King who can
hear things from great distances. And he’s a gnome. So he lives underground. He also gets kicked in the rump by
the nasty old Nome King.

This polish is a deep blue/purple jelly with black and white
bar glitter and diamond holo glitter sparsely through out.

Kaliko

Kaliko is the much abused right hand man to the Nome
King. He is fair, unlike his sovereign
and really wants the best for the gnomes.
After the Nome King is conquered by the dragon and (mostly) the yellow
hen he becomes the new king and helps Shaggy Man find his brother in the Metal
Forest.

Kaliko is silver, purple, black, and white shard glitter and
another of my favorites!

The Yellow Hen

The yellow hen is in truth the real victor over the Metal
Monarch. Little did we know
however that gnomes are terrified of eggs because they are poisonous.

This is a gold with a spectraflair gleem to it. It goes on a little sheer but as you
can see from the photo’s, three very thin coats do the trick. The photos are of one, two, and three
coats respectively.

Glinda

We all know who she is but in this story he doesn’t play
such a significant role, that said, I simply couldn’t leave her out!

This is black and white shards mixed with pink holo hexes.

Dorothy

We meet Dorothy at the end of the book where she resides in
the palace with Ozma. She becomes
fast friends with Betsy immediately.
I choose blue because who can forget her beautiful dress?

This is a blue/cerulean color with spectraflair. It covers well in two coats.

Toto

Again, someone we know but in the final parts of the story
Dorothy gets to hear Toto finally speak because all animals can talk in
Oz. I figured he just had to get a
color!
